Hravn Forsne is Francois Mitterand's secret love child WIKI
Hravn Forsne, 25-year-old man running for a seat in Swedish parliament revealed on Friday that he's the son of former French president François Mitterrand, who was well-known for his extramarital affairs.
Mitterand, a notorious philanderer, was infamous for keeping an entire ‘secret’ family on the taxpayers’ expense during his 14 years in office, the longest term in his country’s history.
Now it has emerged that he fathered a son, Hravn Forsne, when he was well into his 70s and towards the end of his career, which came to a halt in 1995.
Mr Mitterrand always had an unconventional love life. In 1974, when he was the unsuccessful Socialist candidate his mistress, Anne Pingeot was pregnant by him with their daughter Mazarine.
"I will only speak about it to the local media, because it's important for them and for my fellow citizens, for the voters to know their candidate," he told AFP.
But he said he had no interest in becoming famous in France.
"I am a Swedish politician. And it's Swedish politics that interests me," he said.
Swedish media reports say Forsne, who lives in Kullavik in southwest Sweden, is in a strong position to win a seat in September, although opinion polls currently indicate an overall victory for the Social Democrat Party-led opposition.
When asked directly if Mr Mitterrand was indeed Hravn’s father, his mother Ms Forsne said: ‘I’m willing to talk about my relationship with Francois Mitterrand. But I’ll not talk about anyone else who is close to me.’
French presidents of both left and right are well-known for their extramarital affairs.
